Hi, I'm EmeraldRobinson. In this "What Is" video we're going to take a closer look at ice ages.
In 1840, Swiss scientist Louis Agassiz noticed glaciers--huge rivers of ice created by snowfall--occurred throughout northern Europe. As glaciers move they transport rocks and scour the ground beneath them, leaving evidence of their passing. Agassiz theorized glaciers were the remnants of a huge glacial ice field that once covered much of the continent. Geologic evidence of massive glacial activity also occurs in North America.
Agassiz had discovered evidence of the last ice age, a period of time when glacial ice fields extended across large sections of the planet. Geologists have evidence of three ice ages--more properly called glacial ages. The oldest occurred 275 million years ago. The second, which affected parts of Africa, India and Australia, occurred 275 million years ago.
The last glacial age, and the only one to occur since humans appeared, began 1.5 million years ago, and receded 15,000 years ago. During that time the Laurentide ice field covered all of Canada and extended as far south as Indiana.
Glacial ages have enormous effects on the plant's weather patterns, animals and plant life. Animals that cannot adapt to the colder environments die out. Similarly, animals that adapt to cold environments may not survive the change when glaciers recede.
The Milankovich theory, by astronomer Milutin Milankovich, suggests variations in the earth's orbit account for glacial ages. Instead of orbiting the sun in a constant pattern, the earth "wobbles." Over millions of years this "wobbling" affects global temperatures. As glacial ice fields spread, snow and ice reflect sunlight that would otherwise warm the earth, causing further drops in cold temperatures. Low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can also contribute to a glacial age.

We’re living in a brief window of time where our planet isn’t frozen underneath a giant layer of glaciers. How much longer will the moderate climate that we’ve come to know as “normal” continue? What causes these dramatic shifts in temperature that thaw our planet and then throw it back into a state of deep freeze? This episode looks at how the changes in our planet’s orbit and rotation impacts our climate.

During the last 400,000 years, considerable parts of North America, Europe and Asia were covered by large ice-sheets. At the maximum of the glaciation about 21,000 years before present the sea level was approximately 120 m (394 ft) lower than today due to the large quantities of water locked in the ice-sheets, and surface temperatures in many regions of the Earth were significantly colder. The animation shows the extent of the continental ice-sheets and of sea-ice as well as the distribution of land and ocean that is altered by changes in sea-level.
A truly satisfactory explanation of the dynamics of glacial cycles remains elusive to this day. Even though there is compelling evidence that changes in the strength and distribution of solar insolation caused by variations in the Earth's orbit around the sun are mainly responsible for the build-up and melting of ice-sheets. However, the way in which these variations interact with e.g. winds, ocean currents and the terrestrial and marine biosphere is still a matter of current research.

This video describes the characteristics of ice ages during the last billion years. We discuss why ice ages happened and how and why climate varies in short-term climate cycles during ice ages. We introduce the term "albedo" and use it to consider how the glacial system is affected by feedbacks that can either increase or reduce the volume of glacial ice.

The Earth is about to begin a steep drop in global temperatures off its present global temperature plateau. This plateau has been caused by the absence of growth in global temperatures for 18 years, the start of global cooling in the atmosphere and the oceans, and the end of a short period of moderate solar heating from an unusually active secondary peak in solar cycle #24.

FROM SHORTMINIICEAGE TO LONG ICE AGE GLACIATION
Global warming peaked in 1988 and slowly ending the Interglacial WarmHolidays to begin the short MiniIce Age affecting all spectrum. After a return to short warming period, we expect a U-turn to long sleep of Ice Age Glaciation. It happened many times in the past, each time resetting Human evolution.
During this shortcoming Ice Age, there won't be enough space to grow food and for comfort living, except between the two 33° latitudes north and south of the equator which is not enough lands, and there won't be enough cheap and fresh drinking water neither for mass survivals.
Our SEAWAPA project is to harvest fresh drinking water from the 7 month monsoons and rains, the melting ice from Tibet and from the most abundant tropical cyclones region in the world on top of Lao mountain range, transfer it below via gravity by producing electricity, food, and goods, at the same time, distribute them to far-flung floating agricultural modules, to newly built megacities, and to industrial complex across the equator, between the tropical cyclones zone, connecting them to other continents, avoiding post ice age big melt danger. Once done, we can tap into the PrimaryWater Cycle for larger scale space programs, build Hyperloop transport system for universal distribution of drinking water, food, goods, electricity and heat, all year round. The heat and coldness redistribution across the world will minimize risks caused by Ice Age and post-Ice Age. Asteroids mining and universal commodity dispersion will allow humanity to progress beyond "Sustainability", and to solve other risks.

This is a visualization of the last ice age using a global ice sheet model with pro-glacial lakes included.

The "Last Glacial Maximum" was the last period in the Earth's climate history during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extension. Growth of the ice sheets reached their maximum positions 26,500 years ago. Deglaciation commenced in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 19,000 years ago, and in Antarctica approximately 14,500 years ago which is consistent with evidence that this was the primary source for an abrupt rise in the sea level 14,500 years ago. At this time, vast ice sheets covered much of North America, northern Europe and Asia. These ice sheets profoundly affected Earth's climate, causing drought, desertification, and a dramatic drop in sea levels. It was followed by the Late Glacial Maximum.
The formation of an ice sheet or ice cap requires both prolonged cold and precipitation . Hence, despite having temperatures similar to those of glaciated areas in North America and Europe, East Asia remained unglaciated except at higher elevations. This difference was because the ice sheets in Europe produced extensive anticyclones above them. These anticyclones generated air masses that were so dry on reaching Siberia and Manchuria that precipitation sufficient for the formation of glaciers could never occur . The relative warmth of the Pacific Ocean due to the shutting down of the Oyashio Current and the presence of large 'east-west' mountain ranges were secondary factors preventing continental glaciation in Asia.
All over the world, climates at the Last Glacial Maximum were cooler and almost everywhere drier. In extreme cases, such as South Australia and the Sahel, rainfall could be diminished by up to 90% from present, with florae diminished to almost the same degree as in glaciated areas of Europe and North America. Even in less affected regions, rainforest cover was greatly diminished, especially in West Africa where a few "refugia" were surrounded by tropical grasslands. The Amazon rainforest was split into two large blocks by extensive savanna, and the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia probably were similarly affected, with deciduous forests expanding in their place except on the east and west extremities of the Sundaland shelf. Only in Central America and the Chocó region of Colombia did tropical rainforests remain substantially intact – probably due to the extraordinarily heavy rainfall of these regions.

Ice age

An ice age is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods" (or alternatively "glacials" or "glaciations" or colloquially as "ice age"), and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres. By this definition, we are in an interglacial period—the Holocene—of the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.

Origin of ice age theory

In 1742 Pierre Martel (1706–1767), an engineer and geographer living in Geneva, visited the valley of Chamonix in the Alps of Savoy. Two years later he published an account of his journey. He reported that the inhabitants of that valley attributed the dispersal of erratic boulders to the glaciers, saying that they had once extended much farther. Later similar explanations were reported from other regions of the Alps. In 1815 the carpenter and chamois hunter Jean-Pierre Perraudin (1767–1858) explained erratic boulders in the Val de Bagnes in the Swiss canton of Valais as being due to glaciers previously extending further. An unknown woodcutter from Meiringen in the Bernese Oberland advocated a similar idea in a discussion with the Swiss-German geologist Jean de Charpentier (1786–1855) in 1834. Comparable explanations are also known from the Val de Ferret in the Valais and the Seeland in western Switzerland and in Goethe's scientific work. Such explanations could also be found in other parts of the world. When the Bavarian naturalist Ernst von Bibra (1806–1878) visited the Chilean Andes in 1849–1850, the natives attributed fossil moraines to the former action of glaciers.

Glacial period

A glacial period (alternatively glacial or glaciation) is an interval of time (thousands of years) within an ice age that is marked by colder temperatures and glacier advances. Interglacials, on the other hand, are periods of warmer climate between glacial periods. The last glacial period ended about 15,000 years ago. The Holocene epoch is the current interglacial. A time when there are no glaciers on Earth is considered a greenhouseclimate state.

Quaternary ice age

Within the Quaternary glaciation (2.58 Ma to present), there have been a number of glacials and interglacials.

North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 16.5% of the earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface.
North America is the third largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa, and the fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.

In 2013, its population was estimated at nearly 565million people in 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population, if nearby islands (most notably the Caribbean) are included.

Mini Ice age 2018 Episode 5 Cooling stages during a 1000year long solar minimum Text in RSAEnglish
Mini Ice age 2018 Episode 5 Cooling stages during a 1000year long solar minimum
Stage 1 colder winter
Do to less energy reaching the upper atmosphere from solar storms winters become colder.
Stage 2 air albedo drops
As the solar wind weakens more galactic energy enters the earth’s atmosphere ionising the atmosphere and leading to more cloud formations. These clouds reflex sunlight away from the planet’s surface cooling the earth.
Stage 3 wind driven storms gains more strength with every passing year.
The colder the earth becomes the greater the deferens in air pressure between the equator and the poles becomes, leading to ever growing powerful storms. The longer the cooling continues the stronger the wind driven storms become. The growing artic cyclones will become so large that it will bring rain as far south from the North Pole as the Sahara desert.
Stage 4 Air albedo drops in the north and south.
Coastal volcanoes around and above the 60th degree parallel north and south start to erupt one after the other due to the growing pressure of sea ice. This brings regional cooling. Example if an Iceland volcano has enough magma to erupt under the pressure of sea ice it will bring cooling to Europe, Chile volcanoes to Chile and ArgentinaAlaska volcanoes to Alaska and parts of Canada and so on. A large volcanic eruption cools the earth in 2ways. CO2 trapped in the troposphere absorbs solar energy before in can heat the surface SO2 combines with water vapour in the upper atmosphere forming sulphuric acid which reflex solar energy back in to space before it reaches the earth’s surface.
Stage 5 Surface albedo drops drastically year on year.
Powerful winds bring large amounts of water from the sub-tropics dropping it north east and south east from its source unless restricted by massive mountain ranges like the Himalayas. This grows massive glaziers at an average rate of 30meters every year.
Stage 6 Glazier rebound
The weight of the every growing glazier pushes the land mass down in to the magma pool below it, this triggers earthquakes all over the planet as the interlocking tectonic plates now have to adjust the new interacting angles. This pressure on the magma blow the ice leads to more volcanic eruptions below the 60th parallel. Most of the world’s super volcanoes are located in this area; if anyone of these super volcanoes has enough magma to erupt from the growing magma pressure the effects will not be regional like the volcanoes in stage 4 but global. The cooling effect of a super volcano is so powerful that not even a rise in solar activity will have any effect for at least 500yrs.
Stage 7Ocean current changes
The path the oceans conveyor belt follows changes, because it is restricted by a growing ice sheets at the poles and dropping ocean levels worldwide. This cooling effect will first be felt in Northern Europe then the east coast of Russia, as the cooling continues it will also bring sever cooling to west coast of South America and New Zealand when the gap between Chile and Antarctica freezes over.
Stage 8 the world deep ocean cools down
The world’s oceans are so deep that it takes +/- 800yrs to cool down. Cold water absorbs CO2 while warm water releases CO2. The world’s oceans are now sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere which has catastrophic effects on the plant life growing on land; however plankton and water plants are blooming at this point due to high levels of CO2 in the water. High levels of plankton is not always a good thing since when they die in large numbers the rotting plankton pushes CO2 levels even higher suffocating fish. The planets most imported greenhouse gas water vapour plummets, because cold water releases less water vapour then warm water. This cools the planet even more. The temperature different deep inland between night and day becomes extreme, because there is very little greenhouse gasses left to trap heat. The powerful winds which use to curry tons of water to the north and south become nothing more than a dry wind bringing very little precipitation if any. If solar activity does not increase at this point mass extinctions on land will follow and occasional dead spots in the ocean will become more frequent. This is also the peak of the cooling period and planet earth cannot cool any further unless a super volcano erupts, but these snowball earth events are very rare. In fact at this point most volcanoes are covered by glaziers; some more than a mile thick dropping the frequent of volcanic eruptions drastically.

Ice Age/ Interglacial Cycle

Ice Age/Interglacial Cycle
During the last Ice Age, approximately one-third of all land was covered by glaciers. Glaciers reached as far south as New York City. This huge volume of ice reduced the amount of water in the oceans, which lowered sea level by several hundred feet. As a result, a land bridge joined Siberia to Alaska, making travel between the two continents possible.

The Last Four Glacial Cycles

During the last 400,000 years, considerable parts of North America, Europe and Asia were covered by large ice-sheets. At the maximum of the glaciation about 21,000 years before present the sea level was approximately 120 m (394 ft) lower than today due to the large quantities of water locked in the ice-sheets, and surface temperatures in many regions of the Earth were significantly colder. The animation shows the extent of the continental ice-sheets and of sea-ice as well as the distribution of land and ocean that is altered by changes in sea-level.
A truly satisfactory explanation of the dynamics of glacial cycles remains elusive to this day. Even though there is compelling evidence that changes in the strength and distribution of solar insolation caused by variations in the Earth's orbit...

Ice Ages & Climate Cycles

This video describes the characteristics of ice ages during the last billion years. We discuss why ice ages happened and how and why climate varies in short-term climate cycles during ice ages. We introduce the term "albedo" and use it to consider how the glacial system is affected by feedbacks that can either increase or reduce the volume of glacial ice.

Mini Ice Age, Long Ice Age Glaciation explained

The Earth is about to begin a steep drop in global temperatures off its present global temperature plateau. This plateau has been caused by the absence of growth in global temperatures for 18 years, the start of global cooling in the atmosphere and the oceans, and the end of a short period of moderate solar heating from an unusually active secondary peak in solar cycle #24.

FROM SHORTMINIICEAGE TO LONG ICE AGE GLACIATION
Global warming peaked in 1988 and slowly ending the Interglacial WarmHolidays to begin the short MiniIce Age affecting all spectrum. After a return to short warming period, we expect a U-turn to long sleep of Ice Age Glaciation. It happened many times in the past, each time resetting Human evolution.
During this shortcoming Ice Age, there won't be enough space to grow food and for comfort living, except between the two 33° latitudes north and south of the equator which is not enough lands, and there won't be enough cheap and fresh drinking water neither for mass survivals.
Our SEAWAPA project is to harvest fresh drinking water from the 7 month monsoons and rains, the melting ice from Tibet and from the most abundant tropical cyclones r...

The Last Ice Age (120 000 years ago to Modern)

This is a visualization of the last ice age using a global ice sheet model with pro-glacial lakes included.

Last Glacial Maximum - Video Learning - WizScience.com

The "Last Glacial Maximum" was the last period in the Earth's climate history during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extension. Growth of the ice sheets reached their maximum positions 26,500 years ago. Deglaciation commenced in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 19,000 years ago, and in Antarctica approximately 14,500 years ago which is consistent with evidence that this was the primary source for an abrupt rise in the sea level 14,500 years ago. At this time, vast ice sheets covered much of North America, northern Europe and Asia. These ice sheets profoundly affected Earth's climate, causing drought, desertification, and a dramatic drop in sea levels. It was followed by the Late Glacial Maximum.
The formation of an ice sheet or ice cap requires both...

Ice Age/ Interglacial Cycle

Ice Age/Interglacial Cycle
During the last Ice Age, approximately one-third of all land was covered by glaciers. Glaciers reached as far south as New York City. This huge volume of ice reduced the amount of water in the oceans, which lowered sea level by several hundred feet. As a result, a land bridge joined Siberia to Alaska, making travel between the two continents possible.
For more information on global climate change, visit the Koshland Science Museum's exhibit "Global Warming: Facts and Our Future." http://www.koshlandscience.org/exhibitgcc/index.jsp

Hi, I'm EmeraldRobinson. In this "What Is" video we're going to take a closer look at ice ages.
In 1840, Swiss scientist Louis Agassiz noticed glaciers--huge rivers of ice created by snowfall--occurred throughout northern Europe. As glaciers move they transport rocks and scour the ground beneath them, leaving evidence of their passing. Agassiz theorized glaciers were the remnants of a huge glacial ice field that once covered much of the continent. Geologic evidence of massive glacial activity also occurs in North America.
Agassiz had discovered evidence of the last ice age, a period of time when glacial ice fields extended across large sections of the planet. Geologists have evidence of three ice ages--more properly called glacial ages. The oldest occurred 275 million years ago. The second, which affected parts of Africa, India and Australia, occurred 275 million years ago.
The last glacial age, and the only one to occur since humans appeared, began 1.5 million years ago, and receded 15,000 years ago. During that time the Laurentide ice field covered all of Canada and extended as far south as Indiana.
Glacial ages have enormous effects on the plant's weather patterns, animals and plant life. Animals that cannot adapt to the colder environments die out. Similarly, animals that adapt to cold environments may not survive the change when glaciers recede.
The Milankovich theory, by astronomer Milutin Milankovich, suggests variations in the earth's orbit account for glacial ages. Instead of orbiting the sun in a constant pattern, the earth "wobbles." Over millions of years this "wobbling" affects global temperatures. As glacial ice fields spread, snow and ice reflect sunlight that would otherwise warm the earth, causing further drops in cold temperatures. Low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can also contribute to a glacial age.

During the last 400,000 years, considerable parts of North America, Europe and Asia were covered by large ice-sheets. At the maximum of the glaciation about 21,000 years before present the sea level was approximately 120 m (394 ft) lower than today due to the large quantities of water locked in the ice-sheets, and surface temperatures in many regions of the Earth were significantly colder. The animation shows the extent of the continental ice-sheets and of sea-ice as well as the distribution of land and ocean that is altered by changes in sea-level.
A truly satisfactory explanation of the dynamics of glacial cycles remains elusive to this day. Even though there is compelling evidence that changes in the strength and distribution of solar insolation caused by variations in the Earth's orbit around the sun are mainly responsible for the build-up and melting of ice-sheets. However, the way in which these variations interact with e.g. winds, ocean currents and the terrestrial and marine biosphere is still a matter of current research.

FROM SHORTMINIICEAGE TO LONG ICE AGE GLACIATION
Global warming peaked in 1988 and slowly ending the Interglacial WarmHolidays to begin the short MiniIce Age affecting all spectrum. After a return to short warming period, we expect a U-turn to long sleep of Ice Age Glaciation. It happened many times in the past, each time resetting Human evolution.
During this shortcoming Ice Age, there won't be enough space to grow food and for comfort living, except between the two 33° latitudes north and south of the equator which is not enough lands, and there won't be enough cheap and fresh drinking water neither for mass survivals.
Our SEAWAPA project is to harvest fresh drinking water from the 7 month monsoons and rains, the melting ice from Tibet and from the most abundant tropical cyclones region in the world on top of Lao mountain range, transfer it below via gravity by producing electricity, food, and goods, at the same time, distribute them to far-flung floating agricultural modules, to newly built megacities, and to industrial complex across the equator, between the tropical cyclones zone, connecting them to other continents, avoiding post ice age big melt danger. Once done, we can tap into the PrimaryWater Cycle for larger scale space programs, build Hyperloop transport system for universal distribution of drinking water, food, goods, electricity and heat, all year round. The heat and coldness redistribution across the world will minimize risks caused by Ice Age and post-Ice Age. Asteroids mining and universal commodity dispersion will allow humanity to progress beyond "Sustainability", and to solve other risks.

The "Last Glacial Maximum" was the last period in the Earth's climate history during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extension. Growth of the ice sheets reached their maximum positions 26,500 years ago. Deglaciation commenced in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 19,000 years ago, and in Antarctica approximately 14,500 years ago which is consistent with evidence that this was the primary source for an abrupt rise in the sea level 14,500 years ago. At this time, vast ice sheets covered much of North America, northern Europe and Asia. These ice sheets profoundly affected Earth's climate, causing drought, desertification, and a dramatic drop in sea levels. It was followed by the Late Glacial Maximum.
The formation of an ice sheet or ice cap requires both prolonged cold and precipitation . Hence, despite having temperatures similar to those of glaciated areas in North America and Europe, East Asia remained unglaciated except at higher elevations. This difference was because the ice sheets in Europe produced extensive anticyclones above them. These anticyclones generated air masses that were so dry on reaching Siberia and Manchuria that precipitation sufficient for the formation of glaciers could never occur . The relative warmth of the Pacific Ocean due to the shutting down of the Oyashio Current and the presence of large 'east-west' mountain ranges were secondary factors preventing continental glaciation in Asia.
All over the world, climates at the Last Glacial Maximum were cooler and almost everywhere drier. In extreme cases, such as South Australia and the Sahel, rainfall could be diminished by up to 90% from present, with florae diminished to almost the same degree as in glaciated areas of Europe and North America. Even in less affected regions, rainforest cover was greatly diminished, especially in West Africa where a few "refugia" were surrounded by tropical grasslands. The Amazon rainforest was split into two large blocks by extensive savanna, and the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia probably were similarly affected, with deciduous forests expanding in their place except on the east and west extremities of the Sundaland shelf. Only in Central America and the Chocó region of Colombia did tropical rainforests remain substantially intact – probably due to the extraordinarily heavy rainfall of these regions.

Mini Ice age 2018 Episode 5 Cooling stages during a 1000year long solar minimum Text in RSAEnglish
Mini Ice age 2018 Episode 5 Cooling stages during a 1000year long solar minimum
Stage 1 colder winter
Do to less energy reaching the upper atmosphere from solar storms winters become colder.
Stage 2 air albedo drops
As the solar wind weakens more galactic energy enters the earth’s atmosphere ionising the atmosphere and leading to more cloud formations. These clouds reflex sunlight away from the planet’s surface cooling the earth.
Stage 3 wind driven storms gains more strength with every passing year.
The colder the earth becomes the greater the deferens in air pressure between the equator and the poles becomes, leading to ever growing powerful storms. The longer the cooling continues the stronger the wind driven storms become. The growing artic cyclones will become so large that it will bring rain as far south from the North Pole as the Sahara desert.
Stage 4 Air albedo drops in the north and south.
Coastal volcanoes around and above the 60th degree parallel north and south start to erupt one after the other due to the growing pressure of sea ice. This brings regional cooling. Example if an Iceland volcano has enough magma to erupt under the pressure of sea ice it will bring cooling to Europe, Chile volcanoes to Chile and ArgentinaAlaska volcanoes to Alaska and parts of Canada and so on. A large volcanic eruption cools the earth in 2ways. CO2 trapped in the troposphere absorbs solar energy before in can heat the surface SO2 combines with water vapour in the upper atmosphere forming sulphuric acid which reflex solar energy back in to space before it reaches the earth’s surface.
Stage 5 Surface albedo drops drastically year on year.
Powerful winds bring large amounts of water from the sub-tropics dropping it north east and south east from its source unless restricted by massive mountain ranges like the Himalayas. This grows massive glaziers at an average rate of 30meters every year.
Stage 6 Glazier rebound
The weight of the every growing glazier pushes the land mass down in to the magma pool below it, this triggers earthquakes all over the planet as the interlocking tectonic plates now have to adjust the new interacting angles. This pressure on the magma blow the ice leads to more volcanic eruptions below the 60th parallel. Most of the world’s super volcanoes are located in this area; if anyone of these super volcanoes has enough magma to erupt from the growing magma pressure the effects will not be regional like the volcanoes in stage 4 but global. The cooling effect of a super volcano is so powerful that not even a rise in solar activity will have any effect for at least 500yrs.
Stage 7Ocean current changes
The path the oceans conveyor belt follows changes, because it is restricted by a growing ice sheets at the poles and dropping ocean levels worldwide. This cooling effect will first be felt in Northern Europe then the east coast of Russia, as the cooling continues it will also bring sever cooling to west coast of South America and New Zealand when the gap between Chile and Antarctica freezes over.
Stage 8 the world deep ocean cools down
The world’s oceans are so deep that it takes +/- 800yrs to cool down. Cold water absorbs CO2 while warm water releases CO2. The world’s oceans are now sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere which has catastrophic effects on the plant life growing on land; however plankton and water plants are blooming at this point due to high levels of CO2 in the water. High levels of plankton is not always a good thing since when they die in large numbers the rotting plankton pushes CO2 levels even higher suffocating fish. The planets most imported greenhouse gas water vapour plummets, because cold water releases less water vapour then warm water. This cools the planet even more. The temperature different deep inland between night and day becomes extreme, because there is very little greenhouse gasses left to trap heat. The powerful winds which use to curry tons of water to the north and south become nothing more than a dry wind bringing very little precipitation if any. If solar activity does not increase at this point mass extinctions on land will follow and occasional dead spots in the ocean will become more frequent. This is also the peak of the cooling period and planet earth cannot cool any further unless a super volcano erupts, but these snowball earth events are very rare. In fact at this point most volcanoes are covered by glaziers; some more than a mile thick dropping the frequent of volcanic eruptions drastically.

Mini Ice age 2018 Episode 5 Cooling stages during a 1000year long solar minimum Text in RSAEnglish
Mini Ice age 2018 Episode 5 Cooling stages during a 1000year long solar minimum
Stage 1 colder winter
Do to less energy reaching the upper atmosphere from solar storms winters become colder.
Stage 2 air albedo drops
As the solar wind weakens more galactic energy enters the earth’s atmosphere ionising the atmosphere and leading to more cloud formations. These clouds reflex sunlight away from the planet’s surface cooling the earth.
Stage 3 wind driven storms gains more strength with every passing year.
The colder the earth becomes the greater the deferens in air pressure between the equator and the poles becomes, leading to ever growing powerful storms. The longer the cooling continues the stronger the wind driven storms become. The growing artic cyclones will become so large that it will bring rain as far south from the North Pole as the Sahara desert.
Stage 4 Air albedo drops in the north and south.
Coastal volcanoes around and above the 60th degree parallel north and south start to erupt one after the other due to the growing pressure of sea ice. This brings regional cooling. Example if an Iceland volcano has enough magma to erupt under the pressure of sea ice it will bring cooling to Europe, Chile volcanoes to Chile and ArgentinaAlaska volcanoes to Alaska and parts of Canada and so on. A large volcanic eruption cools the earth in 2ways. CO2 trapped in the troposphere absorbs solar energy before in can heat the surface SO2 combines with water vapour in the upper atmosphere forming sulphuric acid which reflex solar energy back in to space before it reaches the earth’s surface.
Stage 5 Surface albedo drops drastically year on year.
Powerful winds bring large amounts of water from the sub-tropics dropping it north east and south east from its source unless restricted by massive mountain ranges like the Himalayas. This grows massive glaziers at an average rate of 30meters every year.
Stage 6 Glazier rebound
The weight of the every growing glazier pushes the land mass down in to the magma pool below it, this triggers earthquakes all over the planet as the interlocking tectonic plates now have to adjust the new interacting angles. This pressure on the magma blow the ice leads to more volcanic eruptions below the 60th parallel. Most of the world’s super volcanoes are located in this area; if anyone of these super volcanoes has enough magma to erupt from the growing magma pressure the effects will not be regional like the volcanoes in stage 4 but global. The cooling effect of a super volcano is so powerful that not even a rise in solar activity will have any effect for at least 500yrs.
Stage 7Ocean current changes
The path the oceans conveyor belt follows changes, because it is restricted by a growing ice sheets at the poles and dropping ocean levels worldwide. This cooling effect will first be felt in Northern Europe then the east coast of Russia, as the cooling continues it will also bring sever cooling to west coast of South America and New Zealand when the gap between Chile and Antarctica freezes over.
Stage 8 the world deep ocean cools down
The world’s oceans are so deep that it takes +/- 800yrs to cool down. Cold water absorbs CO2 while warm water releases CO2. The world’s oceans are now sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere which has catastrophic effects on the plant life growing on land; however plankton and water plants are blooming at this point due to high levels of CO2 in the water. High levels of plankton is not always a good thing since when they die in large numbers the rotting plankton pushes CO2 levels even higher suffocating fish. The planets most imported greenhouse gas water vapour plummets, because cold water releases less water vapour then warm water. This cools the planet even more. The temperature different deep inland between night and day becomes extreme, because there is very little greenhouse gasses left to trap heat. The powerful winds which use to curry tons of water to the north and south become nothing more than a dry wind bringing very little precipitation if any. If solar activity does not increase at this point mass extinctions on land will follow and occasional dead spots in the ocean will become more frequent. This is also the peak of the cooling period and planet earth cannot cool any further unless a super volcano erupts, but these snowball earth events are very rare.

Ice Age/Interglacial Cycle
During the last Ice Age, approximately one-third of all land was covered by glaciers. Glaciers reached as far south as New York City. This huge volume of ice reduced the amount of water in the oceans, which lowered sea level by several hundred feet. As a result, a land bridge joined Siberia to Alaska, making travel between the two continents possible.

Evidence For the Ice Age - Proof of the Glacial Period

This film examines many features of today's landscapes which cannot be explained by processes at work around them, and explains that observation of the work of modern glaciers establishes that these anomalies could only have been caused by a massive sheet of moving ice. It is evidence that glacial ice moved south at least four times in geologic history, and that its shape and size correspond approximately with the distribution of glacial features.

You can probably keep your igloo-building skills on ice for a while longer. Despite a recent flurry of news reports suggesting Earth is just 15 years away from a "mini ice age," we're still in far more danger from global warming than global cooling.
The source of those reports is a new model of the sun's solar cycle, released last week by Northumbria University mathematics professor Valentina Zharkova.

Mini Ice Age, Long Ice Age Glaciation explained

The Earth is about to begin a steep drop in global temperatures off its present global temperature plateau. This plateau has been caused by the absence of growth in global temperatures for 18 years, the start of global cooling in the atmosphere and the oceans, and the end of a short period of moderate solar heating from an unusually active secondary peak in solar cycle #24.

Last Glacial Maximum - Video Learning - WizScience.com

The "Last Glacial Maximum" was the last period in the Earth's climate history during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extension. Growth of the ice sheets reached their maximum positions 26,500 years ago. Deglaciation commenced in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 19,000 years ago, and in Antarctica approximately 14,500 years ago which is consistent with evidence that this was the primary source for an abrupt rise in the sea level 14,500 years ago. At this time, vast ice sheets covered much of North America, northern Europe and Asia. These ice sheets profoundly affected Earth's climate, causing drought, desertification, and a dramatic drop in sea levels. It was followed by the Late Glacial Maximum.
The formation of an ice sheet or ice cap requires both...

There have been five known ice ages in the Earth's history, with the Earth experiencing the QuaternaryIce Age during the present time. Within ice ages, there exist periods of more severe glacial conditions and more temperate referred to as glacial periods and interglacial periods, respectively. The Earth is currently in such an interglacial period of the Quaternary Ice Age, with the last glacial period of the Quaternary having ended approximately 11,700 years ago with the start of the Holocene epoch. Based on climate proxies, paleoclimatologists study the different climate states originating from glaciation.

Ice Ages & Climate Cycles

This video describes the characteristics of ice ages during the last billion years. We discuss why ice ages happened and how and why climate varies in short-term climate cycles during ice ages. We introduce the term "albedo" and use it to consider how the glacial system is affected by feedbacks that can either increase or reduce the volume of glacial ice.

The History of Climate Change and the Ice Ages

The history of Climate Change from the earliest known Ice ages up to the start of the current Holocene Epoch that began around 11 thousand 5 hundred years ago.
In doing so the video will cover the definitions of Ice Ages,
Glacial periods and inter-glacial periods. We will also look at what is known of the potential causes of Ice ages, and how life on the planet hs Changed and developed over millions of years alongside the changing climate.

A team of local researchers may have found the key to understanding glacial-interglacial cycles, or in layman's terms why the earth goes through ice ages.
They've found clues that might explain the phenomenon in stalagmites in Korea's northern Gangwon-doProvince.
SohnJung-in reports.
Local researchers have analyzed the growing process of stalagmites found in Baekryong cave, located in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do province.
These rock formations, which are formed by materials deposited on the floor from ceiling drippings, revealed that growth surged in interglacial periods when temperatures were warmer, than during glacials, or cold periods.
This finding closely relates to the Intertropical Convergence Zone - an area near the equator where trade winds converge and drastically affect ra...

3 reasons not to expect a 'mini ice age' in 2030

Even thoughEarth is already in an ice age, a surplus of ice is the least of our worries.
You can probably keep your igloo-building skills on ice for a while longer. Despite a recent flurry of news reports suggesting Earth is just 15 years away from a "mini ice age," we're still in far more danger from global warming than global cooling.
The source of those reports is a new model of the sun's solar cycle, released last week by Northumbria University mathematics professor Valentina Zharkova. The model offers fresh details about irregularities in the sun's 11-year "heartbeat," the same cycle that influences solar storms and the northern lights. Specifically, it predicts a substantial decrease in solar activity over the next couple decades.
Many news outlets — especially those with a less-than-stellar track record of reporting about climate change — have seized on a particular line from a press release about the model. "Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s," the release states, "to conditions last seen during the 'mini ice age' that began in 1645."
Also known as the "Little Ice Age," this was a period of a few centuries marked by unusually cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere. It was not a true "ice age" in scientific terms, but it was really cold — and it correlated with a big dip in solar activity. So if the solar cycle is about to experience another big dip, that means the ongoing growth of global warming will screech to a halt and we'll all freeze, right?
Maybe. But very probably not. Here are three important points to keep in mind:
1. Technically, Earth is already in an ice age.
The phrase "ice age" gets thrown around a lot, so its exact meaning is understandably muddled. But it's worth noting that Earth has been in an ice age for about 3 million years, while modern humans have only been around for about 200,000. It's also worth noting that most people don't really mean ice age when they say "ice age."
The current ice age is one of at least five in Earth's history. Each ice age is punctuated by shorter cycles of relatively warm weather when glaciers retreat (interglacial periods) and cold cycles when glaciers advance (glacial periods). Sometimes people refer to these glacial periods as "ice ages," which can be confusing. The current interglacial — which includes the Little Ice Age, aka Maunder minimum — began about 11,000 years ago. Research suggests it may last another 50,000 years.
Even if the predicted drop in solar activity does significantly affect Earth's climate, no one is saying it would usher in a new glacial period. At most, a "mini ice age" would likely resemble the Little Ice Age of 1645, which didn't involve globally advancing glaciers but did involve local glaciation as well as agricultural hardship for Northern Europe. Still, there's ample reason to doubt even this milder outcome.
2. The link between sunspots and global cooling is hazy.
The new solar-cycle model is not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, as the Washington Post points out, meaning it's still a bit preliminary. But even the scientists who created it didn't predict a mini ice age in their press release; the "conditions" they mentioned are on the sun, not Earth. Those conditions were "last seen during the 'mini ice age,'" as the press release notes, but the researchers stop short of explicitly blaming the cooler climate on a scarcity of sunspots.
Still, they do seem to imply a connection. And they wouldn't be the first — the correlation between solar activity and the Little Ice Age is notable, and it's often touted by those who doubt the proven influence of carbon dioxide on climate. Scientists acknowledge the Little Ice Age may have been partly caused by low solar activity, but few believe that was the only cause. The period also correlated with a series of major volcanic eruptions, which are known to block solar heat.
And even if the Little Ice Age was partly due to the solar cycle, that correlation hasn't held up in modern times. Solar activity has been generally declining since the mid-20th century, yet Earth's average temperature has been notoriously soaring at a pace unprecedented in human history (see graph below). While the recent solar maximumwas the weakest in a century, 2014 was the hottest year in recorded history.

During this shortcoming Ice Age, there won't be enough space to grow food and for comfort living, except between the two 33° latitudes north and south of the equator which is not enough lands, and there won't be enough cheap and fresh drinking water neither for mass survivals.
Our SEAWAPA project is to harvest fresh drinking water from the 7 month monsoons and rains, the melting ice from Tibet and from the most abundant tropical cyclones region in the world on top of Lao mountain range, transfer it below via gravity by producing electricity, food, and goods, at the same time, distribute them to far-flung floating agricultural modules, to newly built megacities, and to industrial complex across the equator, between the tropical cyclones zone, connecting them to other continents, avoiding post ice age big melt danger. Once done, we can tap into the PrimaryWater Cycle for larger scale space programs, build Hyperloop transport system for universal distribution of drinking water, food, goods, electricity and heat, all year round. The heat and coldness redistribution across the world will minimize risks caused by Ice Age and post-Ice Age. Asteroids mining and universal commodity dispersion will allow humanity to progress beyond "Sustainability", and to solve other risks.

The "Last Glacial Maximum" was the last period in the Earth's climate history during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extension. Growth of the ice sheets reached their maximum positions 26,500 years ago. Deglaciation commenced in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 19,000 years ago, and in Antarctica approximately 14,500 years ago which is consistent with evidence that this was the primary source for an abrupt rise in the sea level 14,500 years ago. At this time, vast ice sheets covered much of North America, northern Europe and Asia. These ice sheets profoundly affected Earth's climate, causing drought, desertification, and a dramatic drop in sea levels. It was followed by the Late Glacial Maximum.
The formation of an ice sheet or ice cap requires both prolonged cold and precipitation . Hence, despite having temperatures similar to those of glaciated areas in North America and Europe, East Asia remained unglaciated except at higher elevations. This difference was because the ice sheets in Europe produced extensive anticyclones above them. These anticyclones generated air masses that were so dry on reaching Siberia and Manchuria that precipitation sufficient for the formation of glaciers could never occur . The relative warmth of the Pacific Ocean due to the shutting down of the Oyashio Current and the presence of large 'east-west' mountain ranges were secondary factors preventing continental glaciation in Asia.
All over the world, climates at the Last Glacial Maximum were cooler and almost everywhere drier. In extreme cases, such as South Australia and the Sahel, rainfall could be diminished by up to 90% from present, with florae diminished to almost the same degree as in glaciated areas of Europe and North America. Even in less affected regions, rainforest cover was greatly diminished, especially in West Africa where a few "refugia" were surrounded by tropical grasslands. The Amazon rainforest was split into two large blocks by extensive savanna, and the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia probably were similarly affected, with deciduous forests expanding in their place except on the east and west extremities of the Sundaland shelf. Only in Central America and the Chocó region of Colombia did tropical rainforests remain substantially intact – probably due to the extraordinarily heavy rainfall of these regions.

Only in Central America and the Chocó region of Colombia did tropical rainforests remain substantially intact – probably due to the extraordinarily heavy rainfall of these regions.

The "Nooitgedacht Glacial Pavements" comprise a geological feature between Kimberley and Barkly West, South Africa, pertaining to the Palaeozoic-age Dwyka Ice Age, or Karoo Ice Age, where the glacially scoured ancient bedrock was used, substantially more recently, during the Later Stone Age period in the late Holocene as panels for rock engravings.
Some 300-290 million years ago, during Dwyka times, what is now Southern Africa was, as a result of plate tectonics, near the South Pole and large ice sheets or glaciers covered high-lying areas. Geologists term this upland the Cargonian Highlands, stretching from what is now the Northern Cape through Gauteng to Mpumalanga. As the Dwyka glaciers moved, grinding their way southwards, the rocks and rubble that became embedded in their belly smoothed the underlying Andesite rock pavements and scoured out scratch marks, known as striations. As the ice shaped the landscape, the continent of Gondwanaland continued to drift slowly northwards, ultimately bringing this area into warmer latitudes. As the glaciers melted, a mixture of clay and rock was left behind which eventually consolidated into a rock called Tillite – the lower-most layer in the Karoo sequence. Quite large erratics or drop stones carried here by glacial action are found at Nooitgedacht. The changing local environment also created conditions conducive for the burgeoning of life, reflected in the rich fossil record of the Karoo.
Along this portion of its course, the adjacent Vaal River, and earlier generations of rivers and erosion processes, have cut through and swept away a vast mass of Karoo rock and sediment, to re-expose the volcanic Andesite landscape formed 2.7 billion years ago and shaped by glacial action 300 million years ago. At one time – when the diamondiferous pipes penetrated to the surface between 120 and 90 million years ago – it is estimated that about 1 km of Karoo sediment overlay the Kimberley-Barkly West area. Diamonds were eroded out of these pipes and caught in pockets of sediment and gravels which, once discovered, changed the course of modern South African history.

There have been five known ice ages in the Earth's history, with the Earth experiencing the QuaternaryIce Age during the present time. Within ice ages, there exist periods of more severe glacial conditions and more temperate referred to as glacial periods and interglacial periods, respectively. The Earth is currently in such an interglacial period of the Quaternary Ice Age, with the last glacial period of the Quaternary having ended approximately 11,700 years ago with the start of the Holocene epoch. Based on climate proxies, paleoclimatologists study the different climate states originating from glaciation.
Deglaciation is the uncovering of a region of land from beneath a glacier or ice sheet by the retreat of it due to shrinkage by either melting or calving of the ice sheet or glacier.

A team of local researchers may have found the key to understanding glacial-interglacial cycles, or in layman's terms why the earth goes through ice ages.
They've found clues that might explain the phenomenon in stalagmites in Korea's northern Gangwon-doProvince.
SohnJung-in reports.
Local researchers have analyzed the growing process of stalagmites found in Baekryong cave, located in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do province.
These rock formations, which are formed by materials deposited on the floor from ceiling drippings, revealed that growth surged in interglacial periods when temperatures were warmer, than during glacials, or cold periods.
This finding closely relates to the Intertropical Convergence Zone - an area near the equator where trade winds converge and drastically affect rainfall.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone that hovers over the southern hemisphere moves up north when the glacial period ends, reaching the subtropical region in the northern hemisphere, resulting in better growth of stalagmites there, due to increased rainfall.
However, when the I-T-C-Z moves south, precipitation concentrates in the southern hemisphere.
The interhemispheric migration of this water cycle was known to be limited to just some tropical and subtropical regions.
But local researchers have discovered that the impacts of this system reached temperate regions as well, based on a new 550-thousand-year record of the growth frequency of stalagmites in South Korea.
"The research showed a contrasting result from the stalagmites made in the caves in the southern hemisphere. This result could help us explain more in detail the change in glacial and interglacial period in the past."
The researchers said the study can prove that an interglacial period starts when mass precipitation in the intertropical convergence zone that moves northward, melts glaciers in the northern hemisphere, marking the end of a glacial period.
The research was featured in the scientific journal Nature.

Mini Ice Age, Long Ice Age Glaciation explained

The Earth is about to begin a steep drop in global temperatures off its present global temperature plateau. This plateau has been caused by the absence of growth in global temperatures for 18 years, the start of global cooling in the atmosphere and the oceans, and the end of a short period of moderate solar heating from an unusually active secondary peak in solar cycle #24.

Last glacial period

The last glacial period, popularly known as the Ice Age, was the most recent glacial period, which occurred from c.110,000 to 12,000 years ago.This most recent glacial period is part of a larger pattern of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation .From this point of view, scientists consider this "ice age" to be merely the latest glaciation event in a much larger ice age, one that dates back over two million years and is still ongoing.

Underworld - Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age I

Plato's Story of Atlantis
In 360 BC, the famous Greek philosopher Plato wrote about a battle between his city Athens and a great empire named Atlantis. He described this war, which ended when Atlantis disappeared in the ocean due to "violent earthquakes and floods," in two of his books: "Timaeus" and "Critias" (https://sites.google.com/site/11000vchr/plato-s-kritias).
According to Plato, all this happened 9,000 years before his time which would be at least 9,400 BC, some 12,400 years ago. Intriguingly, this also corresponds to the period when the geological age of the Younger Dryas suddenly ended with an abrupt warming of more than 10°C in only a few years. This event marked the beginning of the Holocene, the era in which we are still living today.
Sea levels must have risen rapidly an...

Top 10 things you should know about the Ice Age

Top 10 things you should know about the Ice Age
https://youtu.be/u6_1DKA10mo
Also known as glacial age, the ice age represents an unprecedented period of long lasting dip in global temperatures and major glacial expansions around the world. During such expansion, a major part of the earth gets covered in an ice sheet for an extended period of time (on occasions, for millions of years). Even though we knew that the humans were able to survive the last ice age, any further detail on the nature of such glacial era was a mystery to us. But the efforts of geologist Louis Agassiz and mathematician Milutin Milankovitch have helped us to understand the very nature and cycle of such ice ages. Now we know at certain periods of time in the history of the earth, massive glaciations had occurred on a g...

Underworld - Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age II

Dragons and winged serpents appear in myths and legends told by people all over the world. Could a comet impact that happened at the end of the ice age, some 12,900 years ago, have been the inspiration for all those stories?
The onset of the Younger Dryas, a geological period that lasted from 10,900 BC to 9,700 BC, is one of the most well-known examples of abrupt climate change. This near glacial period of about 1,200 years was named after Dryas Octopetala, a small flower that grows in cold, artic conditions and became common in Europe during this time. The end of the Younger Dryas, about 11,700 years ago, was particularly abrupt. In Greenland, temperatures rose 10°C in just a few years time.
The Younger Dryas return to a cold, glacial climate was first considered to be a regional even...

Ice age

An ice age is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods" , and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres. By this definition, we are in an interglacial period - the holocene, of the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.

Our SEAWAPA project is to harvest fresh drinking water from the 7 month monsoons and rains, the melting ice from Tibet and from the most abundant tropical cyclones region in the world on top of Lao mountain range, transfer it below via gravity by producing electricity, food, and goods, at the same time, distribute them to far-flung floating agricultural modules, to newly built megacities, and to industrial complex across the equator, between the tropical cyclones zone, connecting them to other continents, avoiding post ice age big melt danger. Once done, we can tap into the PrimaryWater Cycle for larger scale space programs, build Hyperloop transport system for universal distribution of drinking water, food, goods, electricity and heat, all year round. The heat and coldness redistribution across the world will minimize risks caused by Ice Age and post-Ice Age.

Goes diving and finds, in some cases, incontrovertible ruins; in other cases the piles of stone might well be natural rock formations, but Hancock argues for their human origins.

Description: In recent decades we have observed a significant reduction of the cryosphere due to anthropogenic climate change. The observed and predicted changes in the extent and amount of snow and ice will have major impacts on climate, ecosystems and human populations both at a local and global scale. This course will introduce students to the science behind climate change as well as the physical and chemical processes that govern components of the cryosphere, including snow, permafrost, sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets. Particular emphasis will be placed on the important role that each component plays in the larger climate system and potential feedbacks. We will also examine some of the social, economic and political impacts that the melting cryosphere will have on countries around the Arctic and also worldwide, such as access to new petroleum reserves, infrastructure damage due to melting permafrost, sea level rise and decreases in freshwater availability.

Plato's Story of Atlantis
In 360 BC, the famous Greek philosopher Plato wrote about a battle between his city Athens and a great empire named Atlantis. He described this war, which ended when Atlantis disappeared in the ocean due to "violent earthquakes and floods," in two of his books: "Timaeus" and "Critias" (https://sites.google.com/site/11000vchr/plato-s-kritias).
According to Plato, all this happened 9,000 years before his time which would be at least 9,400 BC, some 12,400 years ago. Intriguingly, this also corresponds to the period when the geological age of the Younger Dryas suddenly ended with an abrupt warming of more than 10°C in only a few years. This event marked the beginning of the Holocene, the era in which we are still living today.
Sea levels must have risen rapidly and dramatically, and as a result entire civilizations, if any existed, would have disappeared under water. It's still unclear what caused the extreme climate change that ended the Younger Dryas around 9,700 BC, although some evidence seems to point to solar activity.
Whether Atlantis really existed is hard to say. In that time, sealevels were at least 80 to 100 meters lower than today. Therefore, if there were any archeological evidence, one would have to look deep in the bottom of the sea, but nothing has been found sofar.
Plato's main concern was probably with illustrating his political views rather than being historically accurate. He was very much opposed to Athen's new democracy and held the opinion that it would inevitably lead to dictatorship and tyranny. Indeed, Atlantis owed its greatness, according to Plato, to the oligarchy that happened to govern the city-empire exactly the way he propagated in his work “The Republic.” Moreover, only the first 20 pages of Plato's narrative have been preserved.
It remains remarkable though, how Plato's story reflects climatic events and other facts of which he could not have had any direct knowledge. For instance, he explains how in ancient times, the higher and less fertile areas were inhabited by primitive pastoral peoples, while the more advanced civilizations lived in the coastal regions, which is why they could escape the catastrophic rise in sea levels that struck the coastal regions and destroyed everything that lived there. Plato tells us that only the Egyptian culture was saved from this due to its special location further inland in the Nile valley.
Other intriguing issues, such as the frequent use of “orichalcum” in Atlantis, are mentioned in the “Critias” as well. This mysterious metal is very reminiscent of tumbaga, an alloy of gold and copper in varying proportions which was much used by the Inca and other peoples in the New World. This, however, became known only 2,000 years later after Columbus discovered America.
Plato wasn't the first to mention Atlantis as it is often believed. In Herodotus' time, the sea outside Gibraltar was on occasion called the Atlantis Sea. In theGreat Hall of the temple of Ramses at Karnak a column shows a depiction of a great festival, along with an accompanying text memorializing “the loss of a drowned continent in the WesternOcean.” Plato described Atlantis as being ruled by ten kings and Egyptian king-lists going back thousands of years before Plato also talk of ten god-kings called “Atlanteans.”
The Sanskrit writings of ancient India contain several descriptions of Atlantis, and even assert that Atlantis was destroyed as the result of a war between the gods and Asuras (giant and sometimes demonic creatures). The Vishnu Purana, one of the oldest of the Hindu Puranas, speaks of "Atala, the White Island," one of the seven islands belonging to Patala. The Mahabharata also refers to "Atala, the White Island," which is described as an "island of great splendour."
Megalithic structures like the Sphynx in Egypt, Göbekli Tepe in Turkey and maybe even Yonaguni in Japan that were build more than 10.000 years ago, point to the existence of advanced cultures in ancient times. But wether Atlantis is more than just a myth, and where it was located, remains a mystery.

Top 10 things you should know about the Ice Age
https://youtu.be/u6_1DKA10mo
Also known as glacial age, the ice age represents an unprecedented period of long lasting dip in global temperatures and major glacial expansions around the world. During such expansion, a major part of the earth gets covered in an ice sheet for an extended period of time (on occasions, for millions of years). Even though we knew that the humans were able to survive the last ice age, any further detail on the nature of such glacial era was a mystery to us. But the efforts of geologist Louis Agassiz and mathematician Milutin Milankovitch have helped us to understand the very nature and cycle of such ice ages. Now we know at certain periods of time in the history of the earth, massive glaciations had occurred on a global scale. Following the suit, here is a list of top 10 things you should know about the ice age.
10. The Glaciers
The massive glaciers found around the world are not only the biggest resource of fresh water on planet earth, but they are also relics left from previous ice ages. In the simplest terms, once ice ages subside and every sheet of ice melts away, the glacial ice in most parts of the world still remains intact. At present, around 10% of the earth’s surface is covered in glaciers. But not so long ago, in the last ice age, the glacier covered as much as one third of the entire earth’s surface.
The glaciers were of different sizes – many were about the size of a football field and some huge ones span over the length of hundreds of miles. In fact, the ice sheet that surrounds Antarctica is actually a glacier itself and it has been in existence for the last 40 million years.
9. Rise of Himalayas and Ice Age
The occasional avalanches in the Himalayas may be a routine affair, but these majestic mountains are generally not associated with weather change on a global scale. The extensive researches made by geologist show that the rise of Himalayas might also have led to the rise of major ice ages in earth’s history. The Indian and Tibetan plates had been at each other for millions of years, giving rise to the colossal Himalayas, and the majestic Tibetan plateaus.
This constant drive not only changed the earth’s topography, but it might had also initiated massive monsoons in Asia about 8 million years ago. Furthermore, when fresh stones were added to the topography as the mountain range rose, the chemical erosion took away a significant amount of greenhouse carbon from the atmosphere. This directly led to a number of ice ages that began about 2.5 million years ago, along with the rise of the Himalayas.
8. GiganticFauna
During the Pleistocene Era, which started somewhere around 1.8 million years ago, a series of ice ages occurred. The ice age also saw the rise of giant sized animals and birds – modern biologists call them Megafauna. Some of these prehistoric megafauna survive to this day in form of Elephants, Giraffes and so on. There were many other gigantic animals that thrived during the previous ice ages, but eventually died out. For instance, Glyptodon looked like a super-giant iteration of present day armadillos. Mastodons, Mammoths and the Saber tooth tigers that not so long ago reigned in the plains of North America.
The fact that a thriving population of such majestic megafauna went extinct of a sudden around 10,000 years ago still puzzles scientists today. Extended researches have attributed their disappearance to rapid warming periods that occurred towards the end of last ice age. At the same time, the rise of human population and their hunting spree on surrounding megafauna for food and leather also further paved the path to their extinction.
7. MiniIce AgesIn between large scale ice ages, several ‘little’ ice ages appear from time to time. These mini ice ages were not as destructive as the major ones, but they are still capable of causing famine over a significant area of habitable land. The last of such mini ice was recorded in the 14th century – especially in Nordic regions of Europe. This mini ice age was responsible for an unprecedented period of extremely cold dips in temperature over the Northern Hemisphere.
It also brought with it repeated plagues, famines and general gloom among inhabitants. In fact, there were extended periods of time without any summer and adverse climatic conditions only further dampened daily life. This might explain why the general aura of the dark ages is so gloomy. The universal cause behind such mini ice ages is yet to be proposed, but scientists attribute the last mini ice age to a sudden drop in solar energy.

Dragons and winged serpents appear in myths and legends told by people all over the world. Could a comet impact that happened at the end of the ice age, some 12,900 years ago, have been the inspiration for all those stories?
The onset of the Younger Dryas, a geological period that lasted from 10,900 BC to 9,700 BC, is one of the most well-known examples of abrupt climate change. This near glacial period of about 1,200 years was named after Dryas Octopetala, a small flower that grows in cold, artic conditions and became common in Europe during this time. The end of the Younger Dryas, about 11,700 years ago, was particularly abrupt. In Greenland, temperatures rose 10°C in just a few years time.
The Younger Dryas return to a cold, glacial climate was first considered to be a regional event restricted to Europe, but later studies showed that it happened worldwide. Besides the Younger Dryas cooling, several other shorter cooling/warming events, now known as Dansgaard-Oerscher events, have been revealed by data from ice cores that were drilled in Antarctica and Greenland.
The GRIP (Greenland Ice Core Project) ice core has been especially important because the age of the ice at various levels in the core has been determined by the counting down of annual layers in the ice, giving a very accurate chronolgoy. Oxygen isotope data from the GISP2Greenland ice core, used to determine temperature fluctuations, suggest that Greenland was more than 10°C colder during the Younger Dryas and that the sudden warming of 10° ±4°C that ended the Younger Dryas occurred in a very short time.
It is now generally accepted that the Younger Dryas was caused by a comet impact that hit the Laurentide Ice Sheet, a kilometers thick sheet of ice that 12.900 years ago covered most of North America. This must have been an enormous global disaster. When the celestial object smashed into earth, in an estimated number of 7 fragments, an enormous heat was released and large amounts of dust and ashes were blown into the atmosphere, eclipsing the Sun for years.
As a result of the energy released by the impacts, parts of the Laurentide Ice Sheet melted which may have caused huge tidal waves. The sudden influx of fresh water from North America caused a shutdown of the North Atlantic 'Conveyor', which circulates warm tropical waters northward. This process, which formed the Great Lakes, may have contributed to the sudden drop in temperature.
The Younger Dryas Boundary, sometimes referred to as the 'Black Mat', has long been recognized in sediments around the world as marking the beginning of the Younger Dryas. It also corresponds to the sudden disappearance of the North AmericanClovis people and many large animals including mammoths, mastodons, american camel, dire wolf, and giant ground sloth in North America.
The cataclysmic event may well have formed the basis for the many myths and legends about a winged serpent or fire-breathing dragon. Snakes had already been in use as religious and archetypical symbols long before, but the appearance of a havoc wreaking serpent in the sky might have been the reason to add the image of a flying dragon to that.
A comet approaching earth under an angle would be stretched out into a long string of fiery fragments and debris due to Earth's gravitational pull. This happens because, unlike asteroids, comets are mainly composed of dust and ice. To the people at that time it must have looked like a big fire-spitting serpent flying through the sky. Other impact events, like the one that according to some theories caused the Great Flood around 2,700 BC, might also have served as an inspiration for this image.
In "The Vala's Prophecy" from the Edda, a collection of ancient Norse myths and sagas, we seem to catch traditional glimpses of a terrible catastrophe: "Hrym steers from the east, the waters rise, the mundane snake is coiled in the rage of the fire-giant. The worm beats the water, and the eagle screams: the pale of beak tears carcases... The stony hills are dashed together, the giantesses totter, men tread the path of Hel, and heaven is cloven...The sun darkens, earth in ocean sinks, fall from heaven the bright stars, fire's breath assails the all-nourishing tree, towering fire plays against heaven itself."
The image of a dragon is usually explained by pointing to the skeletons of dinosaurs that were found in earlier times as well. The ancient Greeks, for example, were well aware of their existence. However, this doen't explain why dragons fly through the sky spitting fire and smoke. Of course all this remains just a hypothesis but in any case, even today the arrival of a comet in the sky is considered to be a bad omen.

In "The Vala's Prophecy" from the Edda, a collection of ancient Norse myths and sagas, we seem to catch traditional glimpses of a terrible catastrophe: "Hrym steers from the east, the waters rise, the mundane snake is coiled in the rage of the fire-giant. The worm beats the water, and the eagle screams: the pale of beak tears carcases... The stony hills are dashed together, the giantesses totter, men tread the path of Hel, and heaven is cloven...The sun darkens, earth in ocean sinks, fall from heaven the bright stars, fire's breath assails the all-nourishing tree, towering fire plays against heaven itself."
The image of a dragon is usually explained by pointing to the skeletons of dinosaurs that were found in earlier times as well. The ancient Greeks, for example, were well aware of their existence. However, this doen't explain why dragons fly through the sky spitting fire and smoke. Of course all this remains just a hypothesis but in any case, even today the arrival of a comet in the sky is considered to be a bad omen.

An ice age is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods" , and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres. By this definition, we are in an interglacial period - the holocene, of the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.

What is an Ice Age?

Hi, I'm EmeraldRobinson. In this "What Is" video we're going to take a closer look at ice ages.
In 1840, Swiss scientist Louis Agassiz noticed glaciers--huge rivers of ice created by snowfall--occurred throughout northern Europe. As glaciers move they transport rocks and scour the ground beneath them, leaving evidence of their passing. Agassiz theorized glaciers were the remnants of a huge glacial ice field that once covered much of the continent. Geologic evidence of massive glacial activity also occurs in North America.
Agassiz had discovered evidence of the last ice age, a period of time when glacial ice fields extended across large sections of the planet. Geologists have evidence of three ice ages--more properly called glacial ages. The oldest occurred 275 million years ago. The second, which affected parts of Africa, India and Australia, occurred 275 million years ago.
The last glacial age, and the only one to occur since humans appeared, began 1.5 million years ago, and receded 15,000 years ago. During that time the Laurentide ice field covered all of Canada and extended as far south as Indiana.
Glacial ages have enormous effects on the plant's weather patterns, animals and plant life. Animals that cannot adapt to the colder environments die out. Similarly, animals that adapt to cold environments may not survive the change when glaciers recede.
The Milankovich theory, by astronomer Milutin Milankovich, suggests variations in the earth's orbit account for glacial ages. Instead of orbiting the sun in a constant pattern, the earth "wobbles." Over millions of years this "wobbling" affects global temperatures. As glacial ice fields spread, snow and ice reflect sunlight that would otherwise warm the earth, causing further drops in cold temperatures. Low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can also contribute to a glacial age.

We’re living in a brief window of time where our planet isn’t frozen underneath a giant layer of glaciers. How much longer will the moderate climate that we’ve come to know as “normal” continue? What causes these dramatic shifts in temperature that thaw our planet and then throw it back into a state of deep freeze? This episode looks at how the changes in our planet’s orbit and rotation impacts our climate.

The Last Four Glacial Cycles

During the last 400,000 years, considerable parts of North America, Europe and Asia were covered by large ice-sheets. At the maximum of the glaciation about 21,000 years before present the sea level was approximately 120 m (394 ft) lower than today due to the large quantities of water locked in the ice-sheets, and surface temperatures in many regions of the Earth were significantly colder. The animation shows the extent of the continental ice-sheets and of sea-ice as well as the distribution of land and ocean that is altered by changes in sea-level.
A truly satisfactory explanation of the dynamics of glacial cycles remains elusive to this day. Even though there is compelling evidence that changes in the strength and distribution of solar insolation caused by variations in the Earth's orbit around the sun are mainly responsible for the build-up and melting of ice-sheets. However, the way in which these variations interact with e.g. winds, ocean currents and the terrestrial and marine biosphere is still a matter of current research.

Ice Ages & Climate Cycles

This video describes the characteristics of ice ages during the last billion years. We discuss why ice ages happened and how and why climate varies in short-term climate cycles during ice ages. We introduce the term "albedo" and use it to consider how the glacial system is affected by feedbacks that can either increase or reduce the volume of glacial ice.

Mini Ice Age, Long Ice Age Glaciation explained

The Earth is about to begin a steep drop in global temperatures off its present global temperature plateau. This plateau has been caused by the absence of growth in global temperatures for 18 years, the start of global cooling in the atmosphere and the oceans, and the end of a short period of moderate solar heating from an unusually active secondary peak in solar cycle #24.

North America Ice age

FROM SHORTMINIICEAGE TO LONG ICE AGE GLACIATION
Global warming peaked in 1988 and slowly ending the Interglacial WarmHolidays to begin the short MiniIce Age affecting all spectrum. After a return to short warming period, we expect a U-turn to long sleep of Ice Age Glaciation. It happened many times in the past, each time resetting Human evolution.
During this shortcoming Ice Age, there won't be enough space to grow food and for comfort living, except between the two 33° latitudes north and south of the equator which is not enough lands, and there won't be enough cheap and fresh drinking water neither for mass survivals.
Our SEAWAPA project is to harvest fresh drinking water from the 7 month monsoons and rains, the melting ice from Tibet and from the most abundant tropical cyclones region in the world on top of Lao mountain range, transfer it below via gravity by producing electricity, food, and goods, at the same time, distribute them to far-flung floating agricultural modules, to newly built megacities, and to industrial complex across the equator, between the tropical cyclones zone, connecting them to other continents, avoiding post ice age big melt danger. Once done, we can tap into the PrimaryWater Cycle for larger scale space programs, build Hyperloop transport system for universal distribution of drinking water, food, goods, electricity and heat, all year round. The heat and coldness redistribution across the world will minimize risks caused by Ice Age and post-Ice Age. Asteroids mining and universal commodity dispersion will allow humanity to progress beyond "Sustainability", and to solve other risks.

Last Glacial Maximum - Video Learning - WizScience.com

The "Last Glacial Maximum" was the last period in the Earth's climate history during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extension. Growth of the ice sheets reached their maximum positions 26,500 years ago. Deglaciation commenced in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 19,000 years ago, and in Antarctica approximately 14,500 years ago which is consistent with evidence that this was the primary source for an abrupt rise in the sea level 14,500 years ago. At this time, vast ice sheets covered much of North America, northern Europe and Asia. These ice sheets profoundly affected Earth's climate, causing drought, desertification, and a dramatic drop in sea levels. It was followed by the Late Glacial Maximum.
The formation of an ice sheet or ice cap requires both prolonged cold and precipitation . Hence, despite having temperatures similar to those of glaciated areas in North America and Europe, East Asia remained unglaciated except at higher elevations. This difference was because the ice sheets in Europe produced extensive anticyclones above them. These anticyclones generated air masses that were so dry on reaching Siberia and Manchuria that precipitation sufficient for the formation of glaciers could never occur . The relative warmth of the Pacific Ocean due to the shutting down of the Oyashio Current and the presence of large 'east-west' mountain ranges were secondary factors preventing continental glaciation in Asia.
All over the world, climates at the Last Glacial Maximum were cooler and almost everywhere drier. In extreme cases, such as South Australia and the Sahel, rainfall could be diminished by up to 90% from present, with florae diminished to almost the same degree as in glaciated areas of Europe and North America. Even in less affected regions, rainforest cover was greatly diminished, especially in West Africa where a few "refugia" were surrounded by tropical grasslands. The Amazon rainforest was split into two large blocks by extensive savanna, and the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia probably were similarly affected, with deciduous forests expanding in their place except on the east and west extremities of the Sundaland shelf. Only in Central America and the Chocó region of Colombia did tropical rainforests remain substantially intact – probably due to the extraordinarily heavy rainfall of these regions.

Evidence For the Ice Age - Proof of the Glacial Period

This film examines many features of today's landscapes which cannot be explained by processes at work around them, and explains that observation of the work of modern glaciers establishes that these anomalies could only have been caused by a massive sheet of moving ice. It is evidence that glacial ice moved south at least four times in geologic history, and that its shape and size correspond approximately with the distribution of glacial features.

3 reasons not to expect a 'mini ice age' in 2030
https://youtu.be/7Lizg7xOOZ4
Even thoughEarth is already in an ice age, a surplus of ice is the least of our worries.
You can probably keep your igloo-building skills on ice for a while longer. Despite a recent flurry of news reports suggesting Earth is just 15 years away from a "mini ice age," we're still in far more danger from global warming than global cooling.
The source of those reports is a new model of the sun's solar cycle, released last week by Northumbria University mathematics professor Valentina Zharkova. The model offers fresh details about irregularities in the sun's 11-year "heartbeat," the same cycle that influences solar storms and the northern lights. Specifically, it predicts a substantial decrease in solar activity over the next couple decades.
Many news outlets — especially those with a less-than-stellar track record of reporting about climate change — have seized on a particular line from a press release about the model. "Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s," the release states, "to conditions last seen during the 'mini ice age' that began in 1645."
Also known as the "Little Ice Age," this was a period of a few centuries marked by unusually cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere. It was not a true "ice age" in scientific terms, but it was really cold — and it correlated with a big dip in solar activity. So if the solar cycle is about to experience another big dip, that means the ongoing growth of global warming will screech to a halt and we'll all freeze, right?
Maybe. But very probably not. Here are three important points to keep in mind:
1. Technically, Earth is already in an ice age.
The phrase "ice age" gets thrown around a lot, so its exact meaning is understandably muddled. But it's worth noting that Earth has been in an ice age for about 3 million years, while modern humans have only been around for about 200,000. It's also worth noting that most people don't really mean ice age when they say "ice age."
The current ice age is one of at least five in Earth's history. Each ice age is punctuated by shorter cycles of relatively warm weather when glaciers retreat (interglacial periods) and cold cycles when glaciers advance (glacial periods). Sometimes people refer to these glacial periods as "ice ages," which can be confusing. The current interglacial — which includes the Little Ice Age, aka Maunder minimum — began about 11,000 years ago. Research suggests it may last another 50,000 years.
Even if the predicted drop in solar activity does significantly affect Earth's climate, no one is saying it would usher in a new glacial period. At most, a "mini ice age" would likely resemble the Little Ice Age of 1645, which didn't involve globally advancing glaciers but did involve local glaciation as well as agricultural hardship for Northern Europe. Still, there's ample reason to doubt even this milder outcome.
2. The link between sunspots and global cooling is hazy.
The new solar-cycle model is not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, as the Washington Post points out, meaning it's still a bit preliminary. But even the scientists who created it didn't predict a mini ice age in their press release; the "conditions" they mentioned are on the sun, not Earth. Those conditions were "last seen during the 'mini ice age,'" as the press release notes, but the researchers stop short of explicitly blaming the cooler climate on a scarcity of sunspots.
Still, they do seem to imply a connection. And they wouldn't be the first — the correlation between solar activity and the Little Ice Age is notable, and it's often touted by those who doubt the proven influence of carbon dioxide on climate. Scientists acknowledge the Little Ice Age may have been partly caused by low solar activity, but few believe that was the only cause. The period also correlated with a series of major volcanic eruptions, which are known to block solar heat.
And even if the Little Ice Age was partly due to the solar cycle, that correlation hasn't held up in modern times. Solar activity has been generally declining since the mid-20th century, yet Earth's average temperature has been notoriously soaring at a pace unprecedented in human history (see graph below). While the recent solar maximumwas the weakest in a century, 2014 was the hottest year in recorded history.

Nooitgedacht Glacial Pavements - Video Learning - WizScience.com

The "Nooitgedacht Glacial Pavements" comprise a geological feature between Kimberley and Barkly West, South Africa, pertaining to the Palaeozoic-age Dwyka Ice Age, or Karoo Ice Age, where the glacially scoured ancient bedrock was used, substantially more recently, during the Later Stone Age period in the late Holocene as panels for rock engravings.
Some 300-290 million years ago, during Dwyka times, what is now Southern Africa was, as a result of plate tectonics, near the South Pole and large ice sheets or glaciers covered high-lying areas. Geologists term this upland the Cargonian Highlands, stretching from what is now the Northern Cape through Gauteng to Mpumalanga. As the Dwyka glaciers moved, grinding their way southwards, the rocks and rubble that became embedded in their belly smoothed the underlying Andesite rock pavements and scoured out scratch marks, known as striations. As the ice shaped the landscape, the continent of Gondwanaland continued to drift slowly northwards, ultimately bringing this area into warmer latitudes. As the glaciers melted, a mixture of clay and rock was left behind which eventually consolidated into a rock called Tillite – the lower-most layer in the Karoo sequence. Quite large erratics or drop stones carried here by glacial action are found at Nooitgedacht. The changing local environment also created conditions conducive for the burgeoning of life, reflected in the rich fossil record of the Karoo.
Along this portion of its course, the adjacent Vaal River, and earlier generations of rivers and erosion processes, have cut through and swept away a vast mass of Karoo rock and sediment, to re-expose the volcanic Andesite landscape formed 2.7 billion years ago and shaped by glacial action 300 million years ago. At one time – when the diamondiferous pipes penetrated to the surface between 120 and 90 million years ago – it is estimated that about 1 km of Karoo sediment overlay the Kimberley-Barkly West area. Diamonds were eroded out of these pipes and caught in pockets of sediment and gravels which, once discovered, changed the course of modern South African history.

The Advanced Pre Ice Age Civilizations that Vanished From Earth [FULL VIDEO]

A physical and intellectual journey, a worldwide exploration looking for the ancient ruins of a lost civilization, this video follows clues in ancient scriptures and mythlogy and in the scientific evidence of the flood that swept the Earth at the end of the last Ice Age. This video explores the question of early humans swept away by the catastrophe. Who were these populations - pre-civilised hunter-gatherers or more sophisticated peoples altogether?
Some 6,000 or 7,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, civilisation has been with mankind for many millennia longer. Examines which coastal areas vanished beneath the sea as the ice melted at the end of the last Ice Age, a catastrophic inundation we find in the Flood myths of most of the world's traditional religions. Goes diving and finds, in some cases, incontrovertible ruins; in other cases the piles of stone might well be natural rock formations, but Hancock argues for their human origins.

Description: In recent decades we have observed a significant reduction of the cryosphere due to anthropogenic climate change. The observed and predicted changes in the extent and amount of snow and ice will have major impacts on climate, ecosystems and human populations both at a local and global scale. This course will introduce students to the science behind climate change as well as the physical and chemical processes that govern components of the cryosphere, including snow, permafrost, sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets. Particular emphasis will be placed on the important role that each component plays in the larger climate system and potential feedbacks. We will also examine some of the social, economic and political impacts that the melting cryosphere will have on countries around the Arctic and also worldwide, such as access to new petroleum reserves, infrastructure damage due to melting permafrost, sea level rise and decreases in freshwater availability.

Last glacial period

The last glacial period, popularly known as the Ice Age, was the most recent glacial period, which occurred from c.110,000 to 12,000 years ago.This most recent glacial period is part of a larger pattern of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation .From this point of view, scientists consider this "ice age" to be merely the latest glaciation event in a much larger ice age, one that dates back over two million years and is still ongoing.

Underworld - Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age I

Plato's Story of Atlantis
In 360 BC, the famous Greek philosopher Plato wrote about a battle between his city Athens and a great empire named Atlantis. He described this war, which ended when Atlantis disappeared in the ocean due to "violent earthquakes and floods," in two of his books: "Timaeus" and "Critias" (https://sites.google.com/site/11000vchr/plato-s-kritias).
According to Plato, all this happened 9,000 years before his time which would be at least 9,400 BC, some 12,400 years ago. Intriguingly, this also corresponds to the period when the geological age of the Younger Dryas suddenly ended with an abrupt warming of more than 10°C in only a few years. This event marked the beginning of the Holocene, the era in which we are still living today.
Sea levels must have risen rapidly and dramatically, and as a result entire civilizations, if any existed, would have disappeared under water. It's still unclear what caused the extreme climate change that ended the Younger Dryas around 9,700 BC, although some evidence seems to point to solar activity.
Whether Atlantis really existed is hard to say. In that time, sealevels were at least 80 to 100 meters lower than today. Therefore, if there were any archeological evidence, one would have to look deep in the bottom of the sea, but nothing has been found sofar.
Plato's main concern was probably with illustrating his political views rather than being historically accurate. He was very much opposed to Athen's new democracy and held the opinion that it would inevitably lead to dictatorship and tyranny. Indeed, Atlantis owed its greatness, according to Plato, to the oligarchy that happened to govern the city-empire exactly the way he propagated in his work “The Republic.” Moreover, only the first 20 pages of Plato's narrative have been preserved.
It remains remarkable though, how Plato's story reflects climatic events and other facts of which he could not have had any direct knowledge. For instance, he explains how in ancient times, the higher and less fertile areas were inhabited by primitive pastoral peoples, while the more advanced civilizations lived in the coastal regions, which is why they could escape the catastrophic rise in sea levels that struck the coastal regions and destroyed everything that lived there. Plato tells us that only the Egyptian culture was saved from this due to its special location further inland in the Nile valley.
Other intriguing issues, such as the frequent use of “orichalcum” in Atlantis, are mentioned in the “Critias” as well. This mysterious metal is very reminiscent of tumbaga, an alloy of gold and copper in varying proportions which was much used by the Inca and other peoples in the New World. This, however, became known only 2,000 years later after Columbus discovered America.
Plato wasn't the first to mention Atlantis as it is often believed. In Herodotus' time, the sea outside Gibraltar was on occasion called the Atlantis Sea. In theGreat Hall of the temple of Ramses at Karnak a column shows a depiction of a great festival, along with an accompanying text memorializing “the loss of a drowned continent in the WesternOcean.” Plato described Atlantis as being ruled by ten kings and Egyptian king-lists going back thousands of years before Plato also talk of ten god-kings called “Atlanteans.”
The Sanskrit writings of ancient India contain several descriptions of Atlantis, and even assert that Atlantis was destroyed as the result of a war between the g
